I find this confusing.

I think self-censorship is a problem to some degree. People have stopped writing papers and essays from their point of view, in favor of bland, pronounless, uninteresting papers. I can’t imagine being a Villanova professor and having to read hundreds of boring papers because students have been told somewhere that they should not use “I think”, which they translate into leaving out colorful ideas and language instead using an overly professional tone.
